Log4OM to LOTW Setup

I need a better understanding of how the fields need to be populated in the external logs section for LOTW Settings. Under Temporary path the example on pg 17 of the manual shows c:\Users\Terry\AppData\Roaming\LogOM\LOTW. In the LogOM dir I have a lotw.txt file. Is this the correct one? For the Executable path the example is C:\Program Files\TrustedQSL\tqsl.exe whereas mine is under Program Files (x86)...I assume that is correct for my Windows 10 machine. Any help appreciated....tnx and 73's Bob

Make a folder LOTW in your c:\Users\.........\AppData\Roaming\LogOM folder and set the path to save to that folder

Yes this is because the screen shot in the user guide was taken some years ago on an XP machine, the correct path for Win 10 is the Programs (x86)/TQSL/ folder or wherever you have got Tqsl installed

Thanks Terry...that was helpful. But having issues trying to upload to LOTW. Got Log4OM set to upload upon closing. Window pops up (Log4OM Upload LOTW). My User ID, Password, Station Location (Home as set in TSQL) and Private sign pass are correct. When I hit upload TSQL opens with a password window wanting the password I created when I installed the certificate. After entering it fails indicating "Password error". I believe this is the same password as the "Private sign pass" which I have verified several times using the check box next to "Private sign pass". What am I missing?

You can set 2 passwords in the LotW settings. The green marked one is the must have password
and it contains the login password u are using for the login to the LotW page.

The red marked is the private pass you have set (if you do so) when you received the certificate
from the LotW and you have implemented it to the TQSL Software. TQSL asks you will set one
or not. If you don´t have set one this field can be stay empty.

If you have set a private pass it has to match exactly (e.g. uppercase or lowercase letters).

Still having problems. My regular LOTW password is correct because I'm able to login to the LOTW website. When I exit Log4OM the " Log4OM Upload LOTW" window pops up. In that window if you check the box next to " Private sign pass" it displays the Private sign password which is correct.I get the following errors:
